Today’s walk was inspired by this week’s Dave Ford video. It prompted me to remember that we’ve not walked in Bramshaw Wood for a long time!

Oh dear! Madam's blotted her previously excellent behaviour record when near New Forest ponies. Today, as we descended from the Black Barrow at Linwood she decided to wish a pony "Happy New Year". I'm afraid it was a rather over-the-top greeting .... She did respond to instant recall but not before she'd attempted once more to say hello. Sent to the doghouse upon arrival home!

A very brief return visit to Woodhenge so that madam could have a bit of a run around as she'd had to be on lead when we were at Imber. Very atmospheric in this morning's mist. Nearby Stonehenge entirely invisible today, ditto Salisbury Cathedral!

Imber is a deserted, uninhabited village on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, used by the British Army for training since its residents were evacuated in 1943 for WWII preparations, with the promise of return never kept. It's a unique time capsule, featuring an original church (St. Giles) and modern military training structures, accessible to the public only on specific open days, usually around Christmas and Easter, allowing exploration of the historic village and its poignant past. It is accessed via a 3.5 mile military road from the A360, approximately 3 miles beyond Tilshead towards Devizes.

Ugh! Silly me, attempting to visit on a busy day after the church was featured on the BBC News website a couple of days ago ... it was bedlam inside the church! Three paces inside I turned around and departed immediately. I far prefer visiting churches that are serene and respectful. You cannot appreciate
The walkies on Gorley Common, the best kept secret in the New Forest, today was preceded by a piggy encounter in Gorley Vale. The extended Pannage season ends on 2nd January, they won't be out again until September.
